therapy for complex trauma in NORTHEAST LOS ANGELES

Do you find that you are highly functional in some aspects of your life, like school or your career, but when you get triggered in relationships you tend to spiral? Do you ever have trouble regulating your emotions during complex situations? Do you ever feel like you get stuck repeating patterns with the way you act or the relationships you find yourself in? Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the past?

Therapy for complex trauma can help. I am experienced in supporting people who have survived trauma related to sexual assault, incest, intimate partner violence, frightening and dangerous birth experiences, child abuse and neglect.

How I help you heal

In my practice, I offer a blend of relational talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic therapy that can help you integrate your brain with your body and have healing experiences that go past the highly effective protective layers you have cultivated over the years.

I prioritize safety and respect for your boundaries. I want to hear anything you want to tell me, and if you aren't ready or able to share your whole story, we can still work on tools for soothing the nervous system, decreasing symptoms such as emotional volatility, insomnia, nightmares or flashbacks, and creating safe relationships in your current life.

Whatever happened then, and however it’s showing up now, I believe that healing is possible. I invite you to contact me to get a sense for my style and see if my practice could be a good fit for you.
